As expectations for Jay Roger Maris Jersey Ajayi continue to grow following his record-breaking 2016 campaign, there appears to be fewer opportunities for second year running back Kenyan Drake. Adam Gase has expressed his Starlin Castro Jersey desire to increase Ajayi’s workload to 350 carries in 2017. The additional carries would be a near 35 percent increase from last season’s 260 carries. Ajayi is also a much improved pass catcher which means he’ll be relied upon on third down as well. The Dolphins spent a third-round pick Thurman Munson Authentic Jersey on Drake in the 2016 NFL draft, but Ajayi is firmly entrenched as the Dolphins’ starting running back. Gase acknowledges that Drake http://www.zooperroquets.com/aaron-hicks-jersey-c-1_45.html and Ajayi have different skill sets. However, getting Drake to be a better overall running back is Gase’s primary objective. “We got to be http://www.zooperroquets.com/alex-rodriguez-jersey-c-1_9.html ready to go if … Jay [Ajayi], he takes a lot of hits. He’s basically our workhorse,” Gase said. “The rest of those guys have to be ready to go at the drop of the hat. They have to be able to do everything. For us to have two guys backing Jay up that do have a strength in the passing game for sure. “But they are good runners. It’s http://www.zooperroquets.com/aroldis-chapman-jersey-c-1_26.html more about getting consistency and understanding the importance of every little detail. Sometimes when you’re a backup, you can lose that, and it takes a professional to do the job right consistently. Really, that’s his [Kenyan Drake’s] biggest challenge is being a consistent guy for us.”
